I would trade down ... get more picks since we have more than 1 need RT-DE-CB-S, etc.

While we could use some perceived help at a few positions, the positions in question are covered (i.e. MLB, RT, etc ...).

We definitely have no need at all of defensive secondary. I think we may go with a CB this draft because it's deep in CBs and we'll look to replace either Ross (this year) or CWeb (next year).

Right Tackle and MLB are the biggest question marks in my mind. Physically we have them answered with Brewer/DD (RT) and Connor/Herzlich (MLB) but I think there are big concerns there (at least from the fan base).

Reese isn't a trade-savvy GM (at least to date) so I don't see us trading back for more picks. I wouldn't mind trading out of the first and picking Brown up as our first pick in the second round and getting a few more picks out of the deal but historically speaking, that's not likely to happen (both us trading back and picking an MLB with our first pick).

We definetly do have defensive needs....if I'm not mistaken, assuming kiwi is back at DE & the season started tomorrow, we don't even have enough LBs(5).....there's spots up for grabs at cb,lb,de,DT..

However there are positions we can easily upgrade ... MLB probably being most notable. CB is also an area they may want to jump on in anticipation of replacing CWeb next year (and for depth). You could say the same thing about Safety and Rolle and/or Brown. DE you could also make an argument for (and where I think the Giants will go early) with Tuck.

None of them being needs ... but wants. Puts us in a really nice position actually.

We have lbs,but they're just not that good...Williams is the best & on top of that every single one of them can't stay healthy....
We have CBs, but only one of them was worth a damn....
We have DEs but none of them were worth a damn....
We have DTs,but none of them could stop the run & got zero pressure....

This is what makes me think JR is just going to go BPA. He used free agency to get cheap plugs across the board so that he can just draft for the talent alone, rather than pure need. Yes we can easily upgrade, but the bodies are there in the positions. Either BPA, or, as I'm REALLY hoping, an OL.

You beat me too it, I was going to post the same thing. With that last pick we can take a CB like Amerson from NC State, go ol in the second and Kyle Long or Larry Warford or Menelik Watson. Then in the 3rd get Jon Bostic MLB FL or and I may be dreaming here, DJ Swearinger South Carolina.

I think Pass rusher is a definitive need the Giants couldnt get to the QB last year. The Giants won 2 Super Bowls with different offenses the only constant was having a rotation of elite DE's. Those DE's have gotten old. If they want to get this defense going again they must add another pass rusher. This is more about next year 2. I would go up and get Mingo if it was up to me.

WEll not to mention, outside of a pass rusher, which is a clear need seeing how we didn't have anyone with what, 7sacks last yr?, is MLB, where sure we got Dan Connor and Mark Herzlich, but the problem is, Herzlich has shown nothing, and Connor is a fringe player at best, albeit, i think he fits what we like to do well, and will be a solid player for us, ala Danny Clark(i realize he was strongside, just saying), but my point is, just because we have bodies, don't mean those bodies are good and the positon is not a need..

No need? You just listed it! That list is the problem.. it scares the cr@p outta me. I count maybe 5 players on it I trust to perform.
